Potty Time.....

We have been trying to get Quinn potty trained for a couple of weeks now (really trying) and last night we had a "BIG" success. He actually pooped in the potty for the first time and felt much better for doing it! Daddy lavished lots of praise on him, but unfortunately I wasn't here to witness the big step. He has been wearing underwear to school for 2 or 3 weeks now with only one small accident at school and only a couple at home. I am so ready to be done with diapers!

I'm thinking about moving the changing table down to the basement so that maybe he will realize this is for good, and there's no going back. Of course he still has to wear one to bed, but that's easy.

We will know in a couple of weeks when the grand baby will be due, and maybe even the sex. It's hard not to get excited now, especially since we won't be getting up at all hours of the night!

Quinn is sooooo ready for snow and Christmas to get here. Every day he looks out the window and says, "No snow yet mommy!" Christmas is going to really be a blast this year. We also have a great hill picked out to go sledding on. Doug and Tammy actually invited us to go there last year, but Quinn was sick that day and we couldn't go :(.

On the home front, we are still working on our bathroom. This has been a year long project, and I'm really ready for it to just be done. And then we have to do the master bath the same way - gut down to studs and subfloor and start putting it back together. At least when we get to that one, we will have figured everything out already.

After the bathrooms are done, I would like to replace the remaining carpet in the house with laminent. Then it's a matter of fresh paint everywhere on and to the outside!
